User Blogs

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way of letting my users have thier own blogs, well… mini blogs. basically i want a system where a user has thier own little blog, other users can view them in a general place or on the users profile. The user can set the privacy of individual posts on thier blog or the entire blog.

is there a plugin that does this? I cant see it would be too dificult to do as there is a group blog plugin available.

my2hands, you can just make your site a multi-author site, do-able in basic WordPress site. Posts by members will be shown in recent posts. Going further, set up code for member profile with conditional template tag which shows recent posts by said member using code in regular WP author template file.
